"Words cannot explain how wonderful this place is. Well equipped, clean and extremely comfortable. Felt at home as soon as we arrived and was very difficult to leave once the holiday was over. Jenny is a delightful host that goes the extra mile. Will definitely be back!"

"Fantastiese twee aande hier deurgebring. Of jy nou as paartjie gaan, met vriende of met kinders, dit is die perfekte plek. Met die dat dit 2 km van die teerpad na Struibaai is, is dit lekker stil en mens het pragtige uitsigte vanuit die huis, stoep en balkon oor die vlaktes. Ek het al in talle plekke in Suid-Afrika en oorsee gebly en hierdie was nog die beste toegeruste plek wat ek ingebly het. Gasvryheid was van die boonste rakke ook."

"This is the third time we have visited and it was as perfect as ever. The location is spectacular in its quietness amongst farm life. The house is set up to cater for our every need and there are so many thoughtful extras. Jenny is a remarkable hostess who does not intrude but is there for any query. Five star all the way."

"I cannot describe how beautiful this house is and how peaceful the farm is. There is no need to leave the farm as the tranquility is all that is needed. Thanks for a wonderful time and at the price we paid it really is value for money. Coffee on the stoep and sleeping late was such a welcomed pleasure. Jenny was amazing we will definitely be back."

"It's impossible to give 5 out of 5 for everything right... I mean you have to at least say one thing was not 100% ... so i did. ps. Flawless, and Betsy the donkey is an absolute priceless gem. Thank you for a fantastic stay."

"Amazing and unforgettable long weekend away! Second time I have visited this gem. Jenny is an fantastic host, the house is more than well equipped for a comfortable farm stay, having all the comforts but being out in the middle of nowhere. The house is beautifully decorated and Jenny has thought of everything one could possibly need. My favourite holiday destination."

"What an absolute gem. I recommend this as a getaway for any group. Klipgontein Keep lives up to Jenny's reputation for having thought of everything, we had the same experience at Langrug Lodge and you really can't ask for a better equipped holiday stay. Jenny is also so generous and accommodating. Everything is neat and clean. The house is so cleverly organized and the setting is stunning. What more can I say other than we can't wait to go back."

"What an excellent place to go to unwind and just rejuvenate, away from all the hustle & bustle. This is truly a home away from home. Nothing lacking, it's beautiful, and the personal touches are excellent. I will highly recommend this place and will definitely be back again soon."

"We had an absolutely fantastic time at Klipfontein Keep. It is a beautiful home in an amazing setting. Every room is beautifully decorated and well maintained. There was not one thing we needed that the house didn't have. Almost every window has a view out over the farm. We had trouble deciding where we would sit for breakfast/dinner/teatime, as there were so many options of chairs, tables and views! Loved the indoor fireplace (the entertainment room) and we even managed a dip in the pool! Wish we had more time to walk around and explore, see more of the wildlife. All the little details made our stay incredible!"

"There is a song that goes - "if a picture paints a thousand words then why can't I paint you" and that is exactly how we feel about Klipfontein Keep. It is really difficult to paint a picture of this gem of a place using mere words! A visit to Klipfontein Keep is not just a weekend away, it is an "all round" experience that goes down deep and etches itself into your memory. This home has everything that you need for a "home away from home" weekend and much more (things you hadn't even thought of). The personal touches and the attention to detail is one of the many things that makes Klipfontein Keep so special and inviting. From the moment you arrive you feel so welcome. Being avid photographers, we enjoy the beautiful sunrises and sunsets across the fields on this farm. The pet donkey (Betsie) helps to add a little special touch, not only into our lives but also into the composition of our photos as well. This was our 3rd stay there and we have booked for more visits this year. It has become one of our favourite getaway places. We are proud to take some of our friends along with us so that they can also enjoy the experience and beauty of this farm. "

"All our guests could say on arrival when we asked them to join us for a weekend at Klipfontein Keep was "wow, wow, wow"! And that sums up the experience in this amazing place. The house is SO comfortable and has absolutely everything you need (and much more) for a weekend (or longer) away from home. The attention to details is evident in every area of this house, from the kitchen to the living room and the bedrooms. From the time of booking to the time of leaving, a person is made to feel so welcome. Even the donkey Betsie runs to greet you whenever she sees you. Exploring the farm was also an amazing experience. Beautiful drives through the enclosures with stunning photographic opportunities. All in all... this place is a gem! Once you have found it you don't want to lose it. Well done Johannes and Jenny. We will see you again soon."

"The house is absolutely lovely! Everything you need and more was given to us. You really only need to pack your clothes and food. We will be back! One of my best vacations ever. Very peaceful."

"Words fail to describe the attention to detail put into Klipfontein Keep. Ample firewood, all the amenities you would ever need, dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, ice maker, gas hob as well as electric oven and hob, jams, milk, honey, heated towel rails, full DSTV, wifi, the list goes on. You would be forgiven to think you are in a luxury hotel. Jenny really goes the extra mile to make you feel welcome. I would go back in a heartbeat."

"What an amazing experience at Klipfontein Keep! As you rise with the morning dawn, brought to you by an eager rooster, you feel refreshed and rejuvenated. Jenny went above and beyond to ensure every detail was crafted and presented with precision. We kept warm in front of the massive indoor fireplace and baked our own bread to feel like true farmers. The vast fields yielded curious cows and the friendliest sheep dog, who just happens to be a donkey!"

"This house is an absolute dream. It is beyond 5-star. A beautiful setting in green fields, complete with a beautiful fountain in the garden. It also has a little swimming pool and cosy outside visiting/kuier area. You have your choice of fire/braai facilities inside and outside! And there is an island-cooking area while walking into a full kitchen as well. Dstv, and Wifi and bunk beds for kids or two master bedrooms. Every bedroom has its own bathroom with exquisite decor. You have never had luxury like this. I promise you this place is worth so much more than you could ever imagine!"

"Klipfontein Keep is amazing - the house has everything you could possibly wish for. Having three en-suite bathrooms was a real treat. Jenny also left a few treats under the Christmas tree for us which was really kind."

"Klipfontein Keep was the ideal getaway! Home away from home. Really everything you need was available. It is surrounded by open fields where game was grazing, amazing sunrises and sunsets, and birds singing. The best getaway I have ever had!"

"Wow! I would highly recommend booking in at Klipfontein Keep. From the moment of booking with Jenny (amazing) to departure the service was outstanding! The property is so well equipped, furnished beautifully with all necessary goodies. There were the most delicious home made rusks to enjoy in the morning with coffee, wood for the fireplace and a view to die for. This was like heaven on earth! Thank you for making this break amazing."

"A true gem of a house and location for a family weekend away or even if it is just the two of you. Fabulously decorated with an eye for detail, practical and has all the amenities you might need. Jenny who made all the arrangements and being so accommodating, thanks a mil, we will be back - this time with whole family!"

"Klipfontein Keep offered us all the things we value most in a getaway, a house that is beautifully appointed, comfortable both inside and outside, a stoep you never want to leave and an open braai place on the side of the house where you can sit under the stars and wish the evening was just a litle bit longer. We were surprised to find a private nature reserve complete with game for our own use, the veld and animals are beautiful and adds something other getaways don't offer. Bring your mountain bike, hiking boots or picnic stuff. The inside fireplace is equally special which allows this getaway to be an ideal destination for both summer and winter months and being in easy driving distance from Cape Town and suburbs makes Klipfontein an ideal choice for weekends away. We will be back soon."

"Klipfontein is a true gem. Decorated to a very high standard, you want for nothing! Slip into crisp, sparkling white sheets at night after star gazing on the open patio overlooking the farm, its true decadence. Both husband and wife are true hosts, we were treated to a city slicker tour of Johan's wildlife farm which includes buffalo, gemsbok, blesbok, springbok as well as oats, barley and canola crops, this is one busy farmer and yet he chatted to us as though he had all the time in the world. An added bonus, should you want to do more, is to ramble into Struisbaai for an afternoon on the beach. It was a great treat to visit the farm, thank you Jenny and Johan."
